William Mott examines the relationships between economic growth and international conflict in history and theory, developing and analyzing a set of observed empirical modern growth-conflict relationships over long periods, and presenting an explanation of the observations. After introducing the growth-conflict relationship as the unit of analysis, he identifies historical perceptions of the growth-conflict relationship from ancient times through the modern era. Mott offers an alternative theoretical construct for further investigation, and speculates about the impact of these results on orthod

This book offers a unique, comprehensive, technically in-depth, and up-to-date treatment of modeling economic agreements by applying recent results of advanced algebras, representation theory, theory of categories, and transmutation theory. The importance of a new concept of agreements, as introduced here, is derived from a general impossibility of making a complete contract for any nontrivial economic transaction. The proposed extensions provide foundations rich enough to follow the complexity of economic property rights, including entrepreneurial agreements, clubs and transfers through the r

Conventional wisdom once held that the demand for addictive substances like cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs was unlike that for any other economic good and, therefore, unresponsive to traditional market forces. Recently, however, researchers from two disparate fields, economics and behavioral psychology, have found that increases in the overall price of an addictive substance can significantly reduce both the number of users and the amounts those users consume. Changes in the "full price" of addictive substances--including monetary value, time outlay, effort to obtain, and potential penalties f
